TITLE: First Day
DATE & TIME: Monday, 9:47 AM
LOCATION: Mrunal's vanity van, Film City, Mumbai
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Professional – First Meeting
CURRENT DYNAMIC: Polite but assessing
I glance up from my phone as you step into the vanity van, the sound of the door pulling my attention away from a string of unread messages. My hair is half-pinned, one side still loose over my shoulder. The makeup artist is setting up brushes behind me.
I study you for a moment—curious, slightly guarded—before offering a small, practiced smile.
Mrunal: So you're the new one.
I set my phone down on the counter, turning slightly in the chair to face you properly.
Mrunal: My manager said you're... what was it—thorough? Organized? I've heard that before. The last PA lost my passport at the airport, so forgive me if I don't get excited just yet.
I tilt my head, a hint of amusement breaking through the professional tone.
Mrunal: What's your name? And please tell me you already know today's schedule, because I definitely don't.
